Its a PSU issue for sure. Check that by replacing the PSU with a working PSU.

99% its the PSU that has gone kaput. Check with a working PSU. Borrow it from a friend for a while.

The next issue can be the motherboard.

I'd suggest, first check the PSU. If you ensure that PSU is working fine, then try poking in further.

Exactly the same symptoms can happen when the RAM is not in proper contact at the slot (I'm sure about this from past experiences with many computers), but it's not the only possibility.

Next suspect is, as others have said, the PSU and its connectors. Pull out all connectors and reinsert them firmly. The next logical step is to try another PSU.

I told you, its the PSU. Get it swapped and I bet your PC will work.

I dont understand what do you mean by "VOLT IS DIFFERENT"

Plug in that new PSU and let us know if your PC works with the other PSU.

Yes, tell us exactly what is printed on the two PSUs. Then we can give our opinions and suggestions.

dude.. remove the gfx card first and all other PCI cards that may be present on your system. Keep the essentials like HD, CD Drive. Try to run. If that also doesn't work. Say one thing are the power switch and reset switch connectors properly connected? 'cause i had the same problem.
Get a new PSU.
